glad to hear you welcome your new life. Also, fully expect now and then to have the past fall on you like a ton of bricks and feel down from time to time... know that we can't be brave forever. I heard recently that when children see a parent's life well lived they do well in return, so your happiness is there.
THough I also heard that if you are sad you shouldnt' hide it from them, to let them know it's ok to feel sad from time to time (I had a hard time with that one, I always brushed off my son's concern when he sensed I was feeling bad on the odd times it showed).

God speed.
